Birch Polypore is a really cool fungi, considering it almost exclusively grows on only birch trees. #mushrooms #fungus

Had some luck seeing some ducks while in Sudbury over the weekend. Caught this female Common Goldeneye flying off. Another bird to add to my logs! #birds #ducks #sudbury

There is no lack of lichens when visiting Newfoundland. I saw all sorts of them everywhere we went. Including this Beard Lichen. #lichens #newfoundland

I see that second scene a lot on this one rural road just outside Ottawa, every spring. It's awe-inspiring when they all take off from the farmer's field!

Alpine's Sedge doesn't look like much but it's a native to alpine regions throughout the world. #wildflowers #bloomscrolling

Today's bird is a Razor-Billed Murre at Montreal's Biodome from some years ago. I will be heading that way again in a few weeks and I'm excited! #birds #zoos #montreal

This Purple Glossy Starling is probably one of my favourite birds at Disney's Animal Kingdom. I feel like it's staring into my soul. #birds #zoos #disney
